LIM College is a private for-profit coeducational undergraduate and graduate educational institution focused on the business aspects of the fashion industry. It is located in Midtown Manhattan, and was founded in 1939 by Maxwell F. Marcuse as the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising, at the behest of retailers who wanted a school that would teach students about the fashion business and merchandising. In 2009, the school changed its name to LIM College. The college grants Bachelor's degrees in Fashion Merchandising, Visual Merchandising, Marketing, and Management, associate degrees in Fashion Merchandising, and Professional Certificates. LIM College also offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with concentrations in Fashion Management and Entrepreneurship. Maxwell Marcuse's son, Adrian G. Marcuse, was president from 1972 to 2002, followed by Elizabeth S. Marcuse.
